Reworked By Strangelets

Sebastian Tellier // Supersoul Recordings
Format // 12"
The material stems from Tellier's highly acclaimed and successful album Sexuality, originally produced by one half of Daft Punk Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. Strangelets (David Ducaruge and Xaver Naudascher) were given several tracks by label Record Makers to choose one to remix. This is the result.Kilometer, an ultra-electronic piece, has really been brought to life by Strangelets, with production smarts to be marvelled. Massive jazzy synths, snappy bongos, and locomotive drums all make for a futuristic cut. The record is up front space funk, bound to pick you up and throw you around the room a little. Their percussive loops are consistent in the best possible way, combine this with red hot synth shots that evoke the sonics of Moroder, and you end up with a galactic gem. With Sexual Sportswear, it's very much as if Strangelets have given you the red pill. They want to show you just how deep the rabbit hole goes! This nasty number maintains such a great monotony, with organic sounding drum patterns, and cascading acidic overtones. The tune is awash with somewhat chilling, ghostly background noises that immediately conjure up thoughts of Dario Argento movie scores. This is War of the Worlds for the dance floor. The record, in all its eerie grandeur, is amazing. Welcome to the twilight zone.
